Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

Yu Zilian didn't care about the exclamation of the crowd, he took out a proclamation and said to all the officials: "This is the list and the amount of silver and grain recruited by Jinling City. You can pass it around for a look. After the meeting, I will announce this proclamation." Send it to everyone." Then, he handed the proclamation to Lu Jiude who was beside him.

When Lu Jiude saw the announcement, he immediately frowned.But he didn't make a sound either, and then handed the proclamation to Xu Hongji, the Duke of Wei beside him.And when Xu Hongji saw it, he immediately jumped up from his chair, pointed at Yu Zilian's nose and cursed: "Master Yu! Without my consent, how can you write me on the proclamation? What arrogance! Arrogance! Money and food are owned by the public, and I am willing to donate this time, but the most I can give is 500 taels of silver and a hundred stones of rice."

The officials around Xu Hongji took the notice and took a closer look, only to see that the first line of the notice was Wei Guogong's name, and underneath it was written "Five thousand silver, two thousand stone grain."

The other officials circulated it around, and they secretly exchanged winks, wanting to see how the good show in front of them would end.

Unexpectedly, Yu Zilian remained calm at all. He sat still on the chair and said steadily: "This proclamation is not a discussion, but a decision of this official. The money and food written in the proclamation must be paid by each family on a regular basis. Otherwise, those who want money and food should not want his family."

"It's extremely arrogant!" Xu Hongji was extremely angry.To be honest, these money and food are only a small amount for Wei Guogong's mansion.But since Yu Zilian wanted to recruit, he had to invite them with kind words, bargain, and have a feast afterwards. How could he stand a bully like today?Isn't this a blatant slap in the face of Xu Hongji, Duke of Wei, the number one honorable man in Nanjing?So Xu Hongji is not giving an inch here.

"If you really can't get it out, what can Master Yu do?" Xu Hongji said domineeringly.

"It's nothing! It's just a broken house." Yu Zilian confronted her lightly.

Xu Hongji was very angry again.He sneered and said, "Okay! My Duke's Mansion is right there, let's see if you dare to come and break the house."

"This official has exactly this intention!" Yu Zilian did not show any weakness, "Tomorrow morning, I will bring soldiers to the Duke's mansion to collect money and food."

"Haha! Can you come in?" The mockery on Xu Hongji's face became even stronger.His Duke's Mansion has at least a few hundred family members.There are also [-] soldiers from Wei Guogong's garrison battalion as their backing.If Xu Hongji beat and assassinated Yu Zilian, he would definitely not dare, but it would be an easy task to use manpower to block the gate of the Duke's Mansion.

Unexpectedly, Yu Zilian erupted suddenly. He suddenly jumped up from his chair, and took off his official robe, revealing his upper body covered with scars. He shouted at Xu Hongji: "Tomorrow, Japanese officials will bring a hundred soldiers. , if someone blocks the way, I will kill you in. I hope your Duke will also be prepared. If you have the guts, you can also kill me at your gate!"

As soon as these words were said, all the officials were immediately stunned.Seeing Yu Zilian's murderous look, Xu Hongji also immediately fell silent. Now Yu Zilian is like the God of War descending to earth.And Xu Hongji seems to be a scholar who meets a soldier.

Seeing that the scene was a bit out of control, Lu Jiude on the side hurriedly dissuaded him: "Two! Two! Family and everything will be happy! Master Yu! You are too impatient. The father-in-law will not object to the recruitment. Just speak well. .But you... are too embarrassing to the Lord."

"I can't help but be impatient!" Of course Yu Zilian didn't want to make the scene even more tense.While wearing his official robe, he said: "The two official armies in Liaodong and Central Henan have lost one after another, and the loss will exceed more than 30 troops. How many [-] do we have in Ming Dynasty? The sooner we form an army here, the safety of Daming will be much less One point. Regardless of how far away the thieves and Tartars are, if you don’t pay attention, you may come to our Jiangnan. What will you do then? You can’t find any incense if you hold Buddha’s feet temporarily. Today, I took money and food from each family, and I also kept each family Ankang. It will be used by my son-in-law at that time. I won’t get a single point.”

"But why do you have to be aggressive? Those present are not unreasonable people." Xu Hongji muttered to the side.Seeing that Yu Zilian's momentum had gained the upper hand, Xu Hongji was about to say a few words about the scene and find a way to go down.

"My father is sensible, but not every family is sensible. If someone is not sensible, I will not hesitate to kill and bleed."

Hearing Yu Zilian's murderous words.All the officials present were speechless.After a while, an official advised softly: "Master Yu, all the people present here are rational and loyal people, so it is easy to talk. But you do this, with the addition of swords and soldiers, it is indeed possible to recruit It went well, but you never thought that you still have a family and a future."

"What kind of future do you want?" Yu Zilian raised his voice again, "I'm the original Ruzhou Army, how many good men in the army are spilling blood on the battlefield, can they see the future? And since I survived by chance, I will never I will shrink back and take a step back. In the future, I will go to the battlefield with my sons and daughters. If I can survive, I will resign and return to my hometown. I will wait in Changzhou, waiting to be cut into pieces, and my children and grandchildren will be cut off. .”

The officials were speechless again.They met Yu Zilian, a desperado who was rampaging in the officialdom, and no one had the guts to block his way.No one dared to intercede for those big families in Jinling City.

And Yu Zilian then turned his head to Lu Jiude: "Grandpa Lu! The armor and weapons of the soldiers will be taken from you."

"It's no problem. The miscellaneous family will go and explain. There may be fewer horses, but for other things, let those bastards not get their hands in the middle, so that Master Yu can use them at ease."

"That's good! But there are still few lieutenant generals and colonels newly recruited, and we still need the help of Lu Gonggong and the father-in-law to dispatch a group from the Nanjing Jingying. It is best to let Huang and Liu be one of the two generals. The general of the new recruit."

"Boss Huang and Liu are not good enough. Nanjing still needs them to guard, and the matter of dispatching generals and schools, my lord!..."

……

As soon as the discussion was completed, Yu Zilian was the first to get up and go to work.Watching Yu Zilian leave, someone whispered, "Is Yu Benbing crazy?"

……

On the vast grassland, dozens of large vehicles formed a car formation, and what was hiding behind the car formation was obviously a caravan.More than 200 guards and men of the caravan stared at the distance with knives, guns, bows and arrows. There was a 500-strong official army with bright armor.

In front of the car array, dozens of human and horse corpses were scattered.That was the escort Mongolian cavalry hired by the caravan passing by the Mongolian tribe.But in the pursuit just now, as soon as they were chased and killed by this official army, the Mongolian guards dropped the corpses and fled away.
